sCMOS Camera & CCD Alternative - Introducing optiMOS

Optimized for Microscopy

This new Scientific CMOS camera is optimized for fluorescence microscopy and features faster frame rates and lower noise. optiMOS delivers 10 x the time resolution of CCD cameras without trading off on resolution or sensitivity.

CCD Camera Alternative

An alternative to traditional CCD cameras, optiMOS features faster frame rates and lower noise, combining speed with high resolution and increased sensitivity:

• Speed to resolve time sensitive cellular events
• Sensitivity to resolve low luminescence signals due to short exposures
• Resolution to resolve small cell structures

sCMOS Performance for the Price of a CCD Camera

Offered as the affordable sCMOS solution at $9,950 USD, optiMOS brings the advantages of low noise and high speed imaging to a broader range of cell biology applications. optiMOS is ideally suited for cell biologists using live cell, multicolor fluorescence; biophysicists studying membrane dynamics and protein and lipid trafficking; as well as neuroscientists looking at ion transport such as electrophysiology, calcium imaging and ratiometric imaging.

Key Features

• 2.1 megapixels at 100 Frames Per Second (FPS) compared to 1.4 megapixel at 10 FPS for the typical CCD camera
• Achieves 45 percent larger field of view than standard 1.4 megapixel fluorescence CCD cameras
• <2e- of electronic noise enables high frame rates without compromising sensitivity
• 100 FPS streaming to disk without expensive and complex RAID 0 configurations
